Hours after former Orlando Pirates captain Senzo Meyiwa was killed, his girlfriend Kelly Khumalo and her sister Zandile allegedly asked for ritual cleansing.
Johannesburg - Hours after former Bafana Bafana and Orlando Pirates captain Senzo Meyiwa was killed, his girlfriend Kelly Khumalo and her sister Zandile allegedly approached a nearby sangoma and asked for ritual cleansing.
Days later, the sisters’ mother, Gladness, allegedly also drove to the same sangoma’s house accompanied by Zandile and her then boyfriend Longwe Twala, who is said to have told the traditional healer that he “couldn’t sleep at night because a dead person was strangling him”. These revelations are in a sworn affidavit submitted to the police by the sangoma, which the Sunday Independent has seen. The sangoma’s identity has been withheld for safety reasons.
The sangoma, in her affidavit dated January 20, 2015, claims she was reluctant to perform any rituals on Twala without his parents’ consent, but Gladness convinced her that “nobody wants to help her except me”.
